Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) hulled and crushed strawberries
  • 3 cups (600g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pkg (57g) powdered fruit pectin

Instructions:

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries. Crush them using a potato masher or food processor until they reach a chunky puree consistency.
  2. Combine the crushed strawberries, fresh lemon juice, and powdered fruit pectin in a wide-bottomed heavy pot.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Stir in the granulated white sugar all at once.
  5. Return the mixture to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down) and maintain for exactly 1 minute.
  6. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims clean, center the lids, and screw the rings until fingertip tight.
  8. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove jars and let them sit undisturbed for 24 hours to ensure the seal is secure.
